Abstract (en)
A percutaneous system for opening a stenosed vessel of a human body comprises a catheter (10,60,80) having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end of the catheter comprises a vessel opening subsystem (40,42,16) adapted to open the stenosed vessel, and a distal protection subsystem (24) adapted to be deployed before use of the vessel opening subsystem. The distal protection subsystem provides a means to trap distal embolic material released during the vessel revascularisation performed using the opening subsystem. <IMAGE>
